Maybe a GT Forum Dinner somewhere depending on the number of those planning on attending...

Also, if you are attending... Will you be bringing your GT?

Jerry,

I'll be attending, and with GT!

We will be there for Auto Week but we won't be attending the Concours on Sunday at Pebble Beach. We will be at the Concourso Italiano on Friday to support forum member ByeEnzo as he shows his Miura. Both Triheart, Canibl & I will have our GTs there. I'm sure WhiteGT16 will be there also but maybe with one of her Italian cars. She doesn't drive the FGT much. Heidi & I would love to visit you & Paula.

Special Ed

PS I just sent msgs to Dave Hellinge, Piana & BlackIce as they may also attend.

I will be there, but I am bringing my Z 8 for BMW's 100th. We will be on the Grass at the Quail as invited guests. Perhaps, I can meet some of you there? My Plate is New York LUV MYZ8.

I will be there for sure. GT is a definite maybe. I want to bring it and am leaning that way, but have the option of being flown up too.

Got a question in with my Ford contacts to see if they need my car for any displays. I'll lock in driving plans soon.

I took my GT to the Concourso Italiano once but will not ever do that again... I paid extra to be in the exotic corral and when I arrived they would not allow me in after paying the money and having the proper corral tickets... they sent me down a very narrow cart path to the far end of the property. I scraped the bottom of my car in numerous places and have not been back since.

Well, maybe a few of us will cross paths during the week...

Ed,
I'll be entered in the Concorso Italiano also. It's on Saturday Aug.20. I'm taking the McLaren 650s this year. Hope the GT people will forgive me.

Tom - Oh ya, Saturday is the main day. I was getting a little mixed up as we have an early get together Friday evening at the Concourso for exhibitors & VIPs! I may see you there on Friday & Saturday! I am a paid VIP since I own no Italian cars. I will be wearing my Italian shoes though & hanging out with my Italian friend Canibl.

Awsum GT - I am taking the GT to Concourso Italiano but am avoiding the Exotic Car Corral as I have heard the it's not good parking. I will be parked in VIP parking both Friday evening & Saturday day. VIP parking is even opened an hour early to avoid the lines.

[GTED]

I'm doing my usual Car Week program: Quail on Friday, Historic at LS on Saturday, and PB on Sunday. Joe, I'll come by to your Z8 and say hi for sure at Quail.
I haven't been back to Consorso for quite a few years now...

[Voda]

Just decided I may make the trip. Won't be able to make it until Thursday evening, so will miss the Pebble Beach Concours Tour d'Elegance, which is really the best way to see the cars .... (actually see, hear, and smell them in motion....better than displayed on the lawn IMO).

Does anyone know if any of the GT40's will be running in heats or doing exhibition laps at the Historics?

 

[LOVE CHP]

Sue and I will be there all week with our GT. Thursday Ocean Ave., Friday Quail., Sunday Concourse.

Canibl & Triheart are AWOL. I have told both of them to wake up & look here but to no avail. They will be there but I hope they respond.

[canibl]

I'd love to come (with a set of wrenches in my car) but it all depends on the date....my wife and daughter will be getting back from Scotland on Aug 17th and I'd hate to be absent when they get back..

 

[Ed Sims]

Auto Week is Aug 15-21 so you may miss it this year canibl!

How many of you guys are bringing your GTs and are you showing them or just driving them?

I will be out there for car week. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to ship my GT out there. I'd also like to meet up with you folks and make some new GT friends.

 

[glord]

I too will be at Quail Friday with my Z8
